Add a new data source

Depending on your Docs permissions, when your 
BlackBerry Work
 administrator is unavailable to assist, you can add new FileShare, 
SharePoint
Box
, and other sites directly from your device if you have already been granted access to the share or site. 
Verify that you have the following information for the FileShare or 
SharePoint
 data source:
  • File share: The path to the file on your organization's intranet
  • SharePoint
    : The fully qualified URL of the 
    SharePoint
     site. If a secure connection is enabled, the protocol is https://. Otherwise, the protocol is http://.
  1.  In the 
    BlackBerry Dynamics Launcher
    , open 
    Docs
    .
  2. Tap The Navigation Drawer icon > 
    Add New Source
     .
  3. Tap 
    File Share
    SharePoint
    , or 
    Box
    .
  4. Enter a 
    Name
     for the new source. You should verify the data source path from a browser on a computer to confirm that connectivity is available.
  5. Enter the 
    Path
    .
  6. Tap 
    Save
    .
If the path is verified and a connection is made, then the new source will now be listed in 
BlackBerry Work
 Docs under either File Share, 
SharePoint
, or 
Box
 by the name you have given it. Note that 
Box
, unlike 
SharePoint
 and File Share, requires you to authenticate with your 
Box
 password (your username is prepopulated) the first time that you use the repository. 
Box
 does not support check in or check out in this release.
